Got a spot of good news the other day. The company I’ve worked for the last year decided that keeping me around full-time wouldn’t adversely affect the stock price, so I’m no longer a temp. Well, I’ll be officially hired once I pass the drug test, which unfortunately I should do with flying colors. I…Read the full post…

It was Oscar Wilde who said, “There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about”. So I was pleased to see that in a recent article about Barstool Sports I was on the receiving end of what I think was an extremely light snark….Read the full post…

Let’s talk fish, let’s talk about the river, and for a change I don’t mean the bastards who hit their gutshot straight draws and make you question God’s existence.

First of all, my review of The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King has posted over at Pokermagazine, and I hope you check it out and then check the book out. Someday I want to walk up to Ted Forrest, put ten grand in cash on the table, and say, “Ted, I bet you…Read the full post…

The World Series of Poker is over, and while ESPN’s coverage has just started perhaps you’re sorely in need of some quality poker stimulation. Pauly can’t liveblog from Bellagio, so there’s no way to find out if he took a piss next to Tobey Maguire. What to do? The answer is simple: get thee to…Read the full post…

How much do you want to bet that Pauly, Iggy, Otis and the Poker Prof will be featured in an article appearing in the august Annenberg Online Journalism Review? You Lose.
